[PATCH] oprofile: Add Support for Intel CPU Family 6 / Model 29

[PATCH] oprofile: Add Support for Intel CPU Family 6 / Model 29

[Jiri Olsa]

This patch adds CPU type detection for dunnington processor (Family 6 / Model 29)
to be identified as core 2 family cpu type (wikipedia source).

I tested oprofile on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7440 reporting itself as model 29,
and it runs without an issue.

wbr,
jirka

Just curious about the other missing IDs: this now supports all Core
microarchitecture CPUs, but only some Nehalem/Westmere ones.

There is support for 0x1a (Bloomfield/Gainestown) and 0x2e (Beckton), but
not for the much more common 0x1e (Lynnfield/Clarksfield/Jasper Forest),
0x25 (Clarkdale/Arrandale) and 0x26 (Gulftown/Westmere-EP).

Shouldn't those be added as well?

When you're there, it probably also wouldn't hurt to fill in the blanks
of some of the older CPUs like Tolopai (0x15) and newer Atoms (0x1c).

Yes, would be nice to have also an update for the remaining
unsupported models. Andi?

Westmere I still hold off because the oprofile user land
doesn't have the correct event list yet.

BTW I was thinking in this case to only add the model
numbers to the user code and just let it handle arch_perfmon
from the kernel.

This should work currently fine and avoid the problem
that you need to update user land and kernel in parallel
for a new cpu type.

Yes would make sense. I'll ask around if there is a consolidated
list somewhere that could be used as a base.

I also found reports for 0x2c (Gulftown/Westmere-EP?):

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 44
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5620  @ 2.40GHz

Right, that seems to be the correct one, I must have been looking in the
wrong place.
